Bain's dossier on Orin: Steeply's mailed questionnaire answered

texture · November YDAU

When: November YDAU (Marlon Bain's posted reply)
What: Steeply mails Marlon Bain a questionnaire about Orin (Orin having suggested Bain as a source), and Bain answers with a long, hostile dossier — Orin's football-as-repressed-homoeroticism, his "sincerity with a motive" pickup Strategies, Avril's "creepy" philanthropic warmth, and the judgment that Orin "has come to regard the truth as constructed instead of reported." Bain (out on the outs with Orin) mangles Steeply's surname throughout (Steepley / Steeples / Starkly / Bainbridge / etc.). It feeds Steeply's working read of her subject.
